broadheads and lighted nocks in the taking of wildlife
during any archery season.

2022 HUNTING SEASON
WHAT’S NEW?
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)
CWD has been detected in Idaho. All deer, elk, and
moose harvested in Units 14 and 15 are subject to
mandatory CWD testing. See page 8 and visit
idfg.idaho.gov/cwd for more information.
Mule Deer, White-tailed Deer
A Regular Deer Tag can no longer be used to hunt in
Units 11, 11A, 13, 14, and 18.
Controlled hunt deer seasons in Unit 14 have been added
or changed in response to CWD detection.
Five extra antlerless deer hunts in the Clearwater Region
were eliminated in response to an outbreak of epizootic
hemorrhagic disease in 2021.
Pronghorn
Beginning July 1, 2021 any person drawn for a controlled
pronghorn hunt (including either sex and doe and fawn) is
not eligible to apply the following year for any controlled
pronghorn hunt. See page 108 for more information and
exceptions.
Gray Wolf
Wolf hunting seasons now allow additional hunting
methods on private land and in many units, see page 82.
Wolf trapping season in many units begin Sept 10 and
include year-round trapping on private land, see page 83.

Nonresident General Hunt Tag Limit
In 2021 the Idaho Fish & Game Commission established
a system to limit general tags available to nonresidents,
see page 9.

As long as work doesnt screw me. Just wrapping up a 97 day run right now, just a few hours out of seattle. The boss in the office asked me how much time i want off. I told him i want to disappear until a job im scheduled to leave on starting june 18th. He said hed "try" to leave me alone. We are extremely busy though, so we will see. Hopefully i get the time off and can get on some wolves.
